• The maximum vertical distance between the remote condensing unit and icemaker is
33 feet above or 10 feet below the icemaker. These distances are measured fitting to fitting.
See Fig. 14.
NOTICE!
Do not exceed maximum vertical distance.
• If the vertical distance between the remote condensing unit and the icemaker is greater
than 20 feet (not to exceed 33 feet), an "S" oil-trap (3/4" OD tubing) must be installed
in the suction line. The "S" oil-trap must be located halfway between the icemaker and
remote condensing unit. This ensures sufficient oil return to the compressor.
